The Waffle House Index is Inde Navarette's next obsession

The infamous disaster measurement that fills a necessary hole in America's cratering infrastructure is set to become a major motion picture for Apple TV.

The Waffle House Index is Inde Navarette's next obsession

Before calling people “sugar” as Rogue, Obsession star Inde Navarette is putting it in their coffee. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Navarette will star in The Waffle House Index, a sci-fi thriller based on the dystopian way America measures hurricanes. It’s unclear who Navarette will play or even what this film, based on a Black List script by Andrew Nunnelly and directed by Louis Paxton, is about. What we do know is that the Waffle House Index is an informal way meteorologists track hurricane severity. Since the chain restaurant serves up smothered and covered hash browns 24/7 365, a closed Waffle House means shit just got real. On the index—found at WaffleHouseTracker.com—green means open with a full menu and the storm is of minor concern. Have another cup of coffee. Things start getting dicey at Yellow, which indicates a limited menu, possible power outages, supplies running out, and conditions worsening. Finally, if the Waffle House is red, you’re already dead. 

Navarette is already generating Oscar buzz for her star-making turn in Obsession, the little indie about a wish-granting twig that could. Since the film made $500 million on a budget of $750,000, she’s been slow to capitalize on her success, carefully waiting for the right offer. The first right offer was Rogue in an upcoming MCU X-Men movie, and the second is The Waffle House Index.
